What human studies say about ophiopogon root

Atopic dermatitis symptoms · Randomized controlled trial · 2019
Compared with placebo, the active was associated with reduced SCORAD scores, including erythema, pruritus and body surface area, in both children and adults. Fewer patients relapsed than with placebo, and quality of life improved. Limitation: Single-blind design with a topical extract, so results may not apply to eating the whole root. The abstract does not report effect sizes. PubMed 31120541

Most studies used extracts or doses that differ from home cooking. Full details in the Nourilo Research Library.
